Field Trip Tomorrow

Just a reminder that we will be traveling to Sturbridge Village tomorrow. We will be leaving promptly at 8:30, so all children must be at school by 8:15. Remember to leave all electronics at home. We have activities planned for the long bus ride!  Don't forget your bag lunch. Leave all peanut and nut products, along with any glass items at home. Dress warm and prepared for inclement weather. It is expected to rain tomorrow.

I'll see everyone bright and early tomorrow morning!

Missing Volunteer Forms

If you volunteered to help out with DASH could you send me an email?  The office misplaced the forms and we currently do not have any volunteers for our class.  Please email me soon.  DASH starts at the end of the month.

Thank you!

Take A Look At What Has Been Happening!

Cardboard Challenge

We have been very busy in our class.  We are finished with our Cardboard Challenge and will be displaying the work we have created with the school later in the week. Below are some pictures of the work in progress.

Students learned some valuable lessons about designing and redesigning!

Ben  picking out some colors for the paint job on the car the boys designed.

Olivia and Arianna picking out the paint color for their interactive design.

Ethan, Gar, Ben, Aidan, and Charlie building their car.


Arianna, Olivia, and Jolie painting their surprise design.


Ethan making some necessary changes.

Aidan thinking through a problem.

Girls stopping to pose for a picture.

Erin, Bella, Liza, and Katelyn in their refrigerator!


Andrew, Will,  and Ryan working in the hall because their project is so large it won't fit in the room!

Moldy Bread Project

 Our moldy bread is looking a bit...well, you can see for yourself!



Both Mrs. Boucher's and Mrs. Lantz's Classes




Mrs. Lantz's Class

Mrs. Boucher's Class
Some questions to think about.  Why is it that my class molded more than Mrs. Lantz's class?  Mrs. Lantz's class hasn't appeared to mold very much at all.  They actually started the project two (2) days before my class.  The bread was rubbed in pretty much the same places with in my classroom.  The types of bread are the same except some of my students did get homemade bread that only contained 4 ingredients.  Talk to your child about what you think happened. Ask your child what he or she thinks may have happened.  Ask what he or she would do if this experiment were to be done at home. Would anything be changed?  If you are in the building, stop by and take a look. It won't be up much longer.  It is getting pretty disgusting!
